Open Space Management Plan:
All sidewalks are intended for pedestrian traffic, shall be kept in good condition, and accessible to
the occupants and customers. Any significant changes to the plan must be approved by the City
Council. All Open Space which is a part of The WheelHouse SP-1 boundary shall be maintained by
the property owners or the Property Owners Association (POA). All property owners shall be
required to be a member of the POA. Dues assessments, required for the maintenance of the open
space areas and other POA activities, shall be mandatory.
The POA shall be responsible for the maintenance and operation of the open space within the
development. The expenses required to maintain the common areas at a quality level shall be
estimated annually by the POA Board, and dues shall be determined and assessed on each property
owner in an equitable fashion at such a rate as necessary to maintain such a level of quality. Authority
to enforce these requirements, and to place a lien on the property if such dues are not paid, shall be
in the form of written Deed Restrictions and Covenants, agreed to by all property owners at purchase,
and shall run with the land.
Provisions shall be made, in the POA bylaws and Deed Restrictions, that in the unlikely event the POA
fails to maintain all or a portion of the open space in reasonable order and condition, the City of
Southlake may, but is not required to, assume responsibility for such maintenance and take corrective
action, including the provision of extended maintenance. The costs of such maintenance may be
charged to the POA or individual property owners that make up the POA, and may include
administrative costs and penalties which shall become a lien on all property in the development.
